“Ky Ngo Dennis is a highly attuned practitioner, whose purpose is to help you reach a higher level of well-being and consciousness.”

Hello, my name is Ky Ngo Dennis (pronounced “key”), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and founder of Spiritual Somatic Therapist based in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego.

For over 15 years, I have helped hundreds of clients navigate trauma, loss, anxiety, and disconnection.  I bring to the healing space a calming presence and strong intuitive guidance that is rooted in both the human experience & spiritual wisdom. 

I offer a deep and unique therapy experience, blending evidence-based clinical psychology, body-centered somatic therapy and spiritually-inspired practices.

My Lived Experience

My therapeutic style is deeply informed by my personal journey. Growing up in a working-class immigrant family, I learned firsthand how cultural pressures and traumatic life experiences can inhibit us from living an authentic and purposeful life.

I started my own healing journey when I was a teenager. I have been a student of Eastern philosophy, energy medicine, and meditation for over twenty years. My personal experiences have given me an embodied understanding of what it takes to cultivate a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.

Before transitioning into clinical therapy, I dedicated my early career to environmental and animal advocacy.

I live in San Diego County with my family. Outside of my clinical practice, you can find me playing the piano, meditating in my garden, laughing to standup comedy, and doting on my daughter and our two cats.
